As users approach obstacles, a sensor located inside the cane sends a signal to a small navigational system housed inside a shoulder bag, which in turn emits an audio alert that directs walkers accordingly. For individuals who are also hearing-impaired, the team has created a glove that issues warnings through subtle vibrations. As the technology becomes further refinedRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2005/08/leveraging-the-folksonomy-tagging-marketing.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 00:17:34 +0000 Almost a third of blogs now use a system called tagging.
